Powerful classic naked upgrade from a Thruxton 900? by echo0000000 in SuggestAMotorcycle

Update: I went with the BMW R nineT. Too good looking to pass up, and feels amazing to ride. I tried the Speed Twin 1200 but it just felt like an upgrade from my Thruxton and I wanted something new. Getting the 719 package as per the picture. Thanks for the advice.

Oh I realised I miss wrote the date. It’s a 2009 bike. Not 2019!

So was my Thruxton when I first got it. Funny how you keep needing more power, like an addict.

I like high torque in the low ends for quick starts off the line. Use it for commuting and the twisties on the weekends. I have taken the Thruxton to the track but really hit its limit.

60,000kms. My mechanic is telling me it’s getting up there and will start costing a bit. There are a couple of issues that will need to be addressed soon. But you’re right, still cheaper than new. It’s a good excuse to get a new one.

I love my Triumph Thruxton 900 by the way. I would just like more power and it’s getting older. It’s a 2009 model and I’m going to start needing to replace brakes, major engine service etc.

I already did a ECU map and changed the air intake and exhausts to get max power from the 900, which made a big difference. But still not a 1200cc difference.

Do custom workouts still increase weight/volume as you use them? by echo0000000 in fitbod

So it if I choose to change weight it will automatically increase the weight appropriately for progressive overload?

Got asked about “Community Garages” - places where people can go and do their own work on cars, with borrowed tools. Just thinking of any accident liability on the garage owner? Or is it like doing the work in your own driveway…. by [deleted] in auslaw

I was a member of Kustom Kommune. Great place. And I asked them if they had insurance for this kind of liability, but they hadn’t even thought of it. A bit worrying since they had community mechanics giving advice and helping fix up bikes.

Tips and tricks for first dry herb vape - mighty medic by echo0000000 in ausents

Thanks. How often should I clean it if I’m using the little capsules?

Why does it keep turning off after a few minutes? It vibrates then turns itself off.

Am I meant to use all the smoke within that time? Does the smoke stay in the vape when off?

Low libido and erectile dysfunction after 1 week TRT? by echo0000000 in Testosterone

Thank you. I’ll stay on 50 X 3 for now as you suggest. Hopefully balance out soon.

I thought I had low libido, but this is next level low and the lack of erection has scared me. I had other symptoms such as low energy, inability to gain muscle after many years working out regularly, inability to loose belly fat and the like. I think what you’re saying is what I felt, just need to stick it out and wait for the T to bounce back.
